Chapter 226 returned

Gong Yuanhe's eyes swept away, and the flower women and the girls immediately retreated. He handed a small brass key to Ming Fei, and said with a smile, "Open it and see?" ”

Seeing that he was mysterious, Ming Fei pursed her lips and smiled, opened the lock as she said, and lifted the lid of the box, only to find that the box was divided into two layers, and when she opened the first layer, she couldn't help but let out a low exclamation. On the red velvet, three pieces of different sizes, clear and transparent emeralds exude a soft and intense light. The largest piece, about an inch square, was cut into a square, and the other two were of equal size, shaped into a pear, but the size of her thumb.

This is the top emerald! Sure enough, it is a good thing, there is no woman who doesn't like these things, let alone her husband gave it to her, Ming Fei looked back at Gong Yuanhe excitedly, and tapped the second layer with her fingertips: "What is this?" ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled pretendedly: "I am only afraid that you are not rare in this thing." Because there are also beads inside. ”

Ming Fei glanced at him: "How come?" Even if you give me a stone, I am also very rare. As she slowly pulled the second layer open, she couldn't help but marvel at the fact that it was the first time she had seen six very symmetrical oval rose-colored pearls that glowed like flames.

Gong Yuanhe carefully observed her expression on the side, and saw that her pair of apricot eyes first opened widely, and then narrowed into a crescent moon, so he proudly picked up a bead to meet the light, and slowly turned it to her: "Haven't you seen it?" ”

Ming Fei nodded: "I really haven't seen it, where did you get it?" He asked someone for the idea, but he only got six, which shows that it is very rare.

Sure enough, Gong Yuanhe said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary bead, and we don't produce it here, but a conch pearl flowing from Fanbang." ”

Conch pearls? Ming Fei hadn't heard of it.

Gong Yuanhe introduced her with great interest: "I heard that it is produced by a pink conch, which is unique in the world. I remember my grandmother once had a pair of these earrings, and I kept them in mind because they were rare colors. This time, I spent a lot of money, and I asked Brother Deng to help me find it. He gestured the beads in Ming Fei's ear, with a very satisfied expression on his face, "This bead is very suitable for you, I will accompany you to inlay a set of jewelry another day, it must be the only one, you take it out as a guest, so that they all envy you." ”

Ming Fei smiled and pushed him: "I live my own life, who wants to envy me?" Get out and entertain! ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled and held her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it gently: "Brother Deng will rest here tonight, you let them clean up the guest room, there are five of them." ”

Ming Fei nodded: "I know, I'll do it now, drink less." ”

Gong Yuan said goodbye to Ming Fei and turned around and went to Banchun Garden.

Ming Fei carefully put away the box, arranged the guest room, and had dinner with Xue Yiqing, the two played chess together, after a few games of chess, Xue Yiqing covered her mouth and yawned gently, Mother E felt sorry for her, and said busily: "It's almost time, Miss don't delay Grandma Cousin's rest." Young grandma is no better than you, and there are still a lot of things waiting for her to arrange at home. ”

Ming Fei heard Mother E say this, and knew that she was reluctant to let Xue Yiqing stay up late, and she was embarrassed to say that it was still early, and she didn't dare to keep anyone, so she hurriedly asked Xue Yiqing to go back: "Okay, let's go another day, your cousin is still in front of the guests, I have to go and take a look, if it is not gone, I will have to change the hot dishes." ”

Xue Yiqing got up and said with a smile: "Mom, you are becoming more and more able to speak, but I am not sensible." ”

After Xue Yiqing left, Ming Fei took the golden hairpin to the front, and beckoned to Xicui to come over: "Are you going to disperse?" ”

Xi Cui shook his head: "It's lively, I'm afraid it won't be dispersed until midnight tonight." ”

Ming Fei went to the kitchen, made a few delicious side dishes for people to deliver, and prepared a decanting soup to warm on the stove, Fang went back to the house, scattered his hair, and looked at the book on the bed and waited for Gong Yuanhe.

Who would have thought that as soon as he turned two pages of the book, the golden hairpin opened the curtain and walked in quickly, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, there is a commotion ahead." Steward Xue asked Xicui to ask grandma to think of a way to go in and interrupt. ”

"Do you know why?" Ming Fei was taken aback. Thinking of what Gong Yuanhe said to her last time, her vest couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat. Although she didn't know Deng Guan's specific identity, she could guess intuitively that it was by no means a good stubble.

Jin Hairpin shook his head: "It seems that the three masters are all drunk, and they quarrel because of a discord." ”

While speaking, Ming Fei had already dressed, took out a hairpin, pulled up her hair at will, ordered someone to make a lantern, and walked quickly to the front. Seeing her solemn expression, Jin Hairpin hurriedly said, "Grandma, it's not a big deal, don't be in a hurry." It is also common for men to get drunk and have quarrels, and it is natural to get better when they wake up. ”

Ming Fei smiled reluctantly: "Got it." ”

When I arrived at the flower hall, I didn't hear any noise, on the contrary, it was very quiet and abnormally quiet. Mingfei looked inquiringly at Xue Minggui standing at the door, Xue Minggui shook his head at her, and said in a low voice: "It was noisy just now, but it stopped suddenly, the villain used the excuse of sending wine in, but as soon as he put down the wine, he was kicked out by the uncle, and he didn't even figure out the reason for the matter." ”

Ming Fei took the food box in his hand, knocked lightly on the door, and tried to make his voice sound calm and cheerful: "Uncle, the concubine made two small dishes by herself, and they will be sent in at this time?" ”

There was silence for a while, and after a while, Gong Yuanhe said, "You can bring it in." ”

Ming Fei pushed the door in, and saw Gong Yuanhe, Deng Guan, and Shuangshou sitting in a group, with their waists straight, their eyes clear, and they didn't look drunk at all, and the cups and plates on the table were neat, so they were faintly relieved.

Shuangshou's expression was stiff, and when he saw Ming Fei go in, he ignored it, but Deng Guan smiled at Ming Fei with a friendly look: "I'm causing trouble for my younger brother and sister." ”

"Big brother is polite. The younger brother and daughter-in-law were dull and did not entertain well, and asked the two brothers to bear with me. Ming Fei saluted the two, put the food box on the table, brought out a few plates of hot dishes from it, and smiled at Gong Yuanhe: "Brother Deng, they came from afar, and they helped us so much, you must treat them well." Don't drink too much and snub your brother. ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled comfortingly at her: "Don't worry, go back and rest first." ”

Ming Fei gave another salute and left. When he went out, he didn't dare to go back like this, he stood outside and listened quietly with his ears pricked up, and saw that he was gradually talking inside, and his tone was quite gentle, Fang told Xue Minggui to be careful, and went back to the room, picked up the lamp and candle, took a needle and thread, and waited for the seat to disperse.

At the third watch, the golden hairpin said outside: "Grandma, uncle is back." ”

Ming Fei hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand and greeted him: "Scattered outside?" ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled bitterly: "Scattered." They've already gone to the guest room to rest, and they scared you just now, right? ”

"Nope." Ming Fei twisted the handkerchief to wipe his face, changed his clothes for him, served the sobering soup, stared at him after drinking, Fang said softly: "Why is it unhappy?" ”

Gong Yuanhe was silent for a moment and said, "Do you remember the bell that chased the wind?" Without waiting for Ming Fei to answer, he added, "There's actually a seal in there." It can mobilize one-third of the Deng family's people and ships, as well as money. ”

Seeing Ming Fei's calm expression, he smiled bitterly: "You may not know how big the Deng family's family business is. In their family, there are 20 large merchant ships alone, and there are countless small and medium-sized ships of all kinds, and more than half of the boats running on this river are their family's, and there are all kinds of people who are begging for a living in the hands of the Deng family, and there are about tens of thousands. And their family, taking advantage of this convenience, not only does the tea business, but occasionally does some business that ordinary people dare not do. ”
